I don't run vsftpd (I run ProFTPd instead) but if vsftp writes to
xferlog like most good FTP servers, then you should be able to quickly
parse this out.  Through the script into your logrotate and you'll get
it weekly (or however often you rotate).  Alternatively, uses the pieces
of logcheck to keep track of where you were in xferlog so that you can
parse the new entries on a more frequent basis.

My users have requested this in a daily basis for some accounts so it's
pretty trivial to egrep on a day boundary for the data.
